Wow, I didn't have to replace glow plugs till around 250,000 miles. Under the valve covers were spotless. 4 dead glow plugs but they all came right out. Around 240,000 did a 4-wheel brake job, new frt rotors, pads, rear shoes, rear drums still looked new. New LUK clutch and flywheel installed around 250,000 miles too, straight piped the exhaust. I need to replace injector o-rings, and oil cooler tubes and o-rings. And probably have to do a water pump and fan clutch soon.
By the looks of that sludge, coolant is getting in crankcase somewhere. Could be oil cooler, injector o- rings, or injector cups in heads.
Had to laugh about 15 years ago, I suscribed to the Turbo Diesel Register so I could post on their website. Yeah, very biased to the Cummins 5.9/6.7. Some guy that probably has the dealer service his truck went On and On about how much better the Cummins was than the 7.3. Bragged about never hearing of the Cummins breaking an oil pump drive shaft and that the 7.3 couldn't make that claim. He actually apologised for his stupidity after I informed him the low pressure oil pump on the 7.3 was driven by the crankshaft, pump actual in the timing cover. Heard of several guys loose oil pressure for one reason or another on a 7.3 and the engine just shuts itself off from lack of oil operating the injectors. Yep, Dual Mass flywheel not the best feature of a manual trans old body style truck. I love my ZF-5 speed. Best manual trans I've ever had.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
